Agreed. That descent and approach track looks suspiciously well executed for someone who has "no idea" how to fly the plane. I do have some idea, but I'm sure I would have spent quite some time while being vectored about to familiarize myself with cockpit layout and controls before making an attempt at an approach. The first part of the track after the incident seems to be a fairly precisely flown DME arc, and that touchdown appeared far better than most first solos.
